Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel

As darkness settles over the Kona coast, the ocean becomes a stage for one of Hawaii’s most remarkable wildlife encounters. This 120-minute Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel takes you by boat to the northern manta site near Kona airport or south to Keauhou, depending on where recent sightings have been best.

With a certified in-water guide and lifeguard, snorkeling equipment, and a shorty wetsuit provided, you can focus on the water below as you look for manta rays moving through the night. The crew prioritizes safety and shares its care for the land, ocean, and wildlife. Manta rays are wild animals, so sightings are not guaranteed; the operator offers return options for eligible guests if no mantas appear.

You’ll need basic swimming skills, previous snorkeling experience, and the ability to climb a boat ladder independently. Check-in is at Honokohau Small Boat Harbor and may be up to 40 minutes before departure, so confirm your arrival time with the provider. Book your Kona Manta Ray Night Snorkel for a chance to witness these graceful ocean visitors in their natural habitat.
